How to initiate the execution of an asynchronous task using Celery?

To initiate the execution of an asynchronous task using Celery in Python, you need to:

1. Define the task using the @app.task decorator.
2. Call the task using the .delay() method or .apply_async().

Example:

from celery import Celery

app = Celery('tasks', broker='pyamqp://guest@localhost//')

@app.task
def add(x, y):
    return x + y

# Initiate asynchronous execution
result = add.delay(4, 6)

# You can get the result later
print(result.get(timeout=10))

The delay() method sends the task to the queue and immediately returns an AsyncResult object, which can be used to track the status and retrieve the result.
